clinical trial of recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine (adenovirus type 5 vector) against covid-19

Conditions: Covid19

Summary: this study is a phase iii clinical trial to evaluate efficacy, reactogenicity and safety of the vaccine ad5-ncov compared with placebo in volunteers at the age from 18 to 85 years，with the randomized, double-blind design

a total of 500 healthy adult volunteers at the age from 18 to 85 years will be randomized into two treatment (vaccination) groups in ratio 3:1 by double-blind design. volunteers in group 1 (n=375) will be administered a single dose of the vaccine ad5-ncov (5e10vp). volunteers in group 2 (n=125): will be administered a single dose of placebo. vaccine ad5-ncov or placebo will be administered intramuscularly into the deltoid muscle of the arm at a single dose of 0.5 ml (1 prefilled syringe).
